Appearance
"Allium roseum" grows naturally to about 18 inches high in well-drained soils, and in Europe blooms from late spring to early summer.The inflorescences of "A. roseum" are umbels. The loose, fragrant florets are about 3 inches long, having six pinkish to lilac tepals.
The smell and flavour of the bulb is powerful enough to drive squirrels and browsing deer away from gardens, where they are planted as ornamental flowers. For this reason, they are suitable as companion plants to tulips and similar species.
